Panda Cub at San Diego Zoo San Diego,CA

This image required a lot of tonal adjustments.  Besides having contrast problems and structure problems, his face also had a yellow cast. However it was easily corrected by using NIK Software Viveza control points. He also was very dirty and required a beauty makeover that was done using the spot healing brush in Photoshop CS5. The rock also had some clipped highlights that were easily remedied using control points. I cannot say enough good things about the NIK Software suite of plugins.
By the way, his pose is not photoshopped. This is an example of a "decisive moment" for the shot.
